Okay, the Iraq & Afghanistan Veterans of America's the big deal, my contributions are small, but anyway, check it out:

Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), the nation’s first and
largest non-partisan, nonprofit organization representing veterans of
the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, announced it will host a press
conference on Monday, June 29th, 10:15AM EST with craigslist founder Craig Newmark and Ning CEO Gina Bianchini at the Personal Democracy Forum
(PdF). PdF is the world's largest and best known conference on the
intersection of technology and politics, attracting the highest level
of speakers and participants. The press conference will directly follow
a keynote address from NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and it will
highlight how the Ning social network model is transforming outreach to
new veterans.
